I figured since we have one for Garage sale finds and we have a stupid/funny/ridiculous craigslist thread, we may as well have one for finds/purchases made through craigslist. Brag away! Tell us how you went to make a purchase and you got more than a deal from some creepy homeless guy! Nothing is sacred, as long a deal was had!

I've sold a few things, but have only had one find I'm going through with, which I'm going to pick up tomorrow. A nearly-mint, complete with box/manual/pack-ins Halo edition xbox for $100. It's a bit more than I wanted to spend on an xbox, but considering they go for ~$200 on eBay (I just watched one end for that much with bids), how could I pass it up. I'll post up some pics when I get home with it.

Bored? Too much money than you know what to do with? Why not check out my Amazon Storefront? If you see anything you want, send me a PM! Make an offer, either monetary or trade! Over 2000 items, and more added daily!

But, did the Halo edition Xbox's have the dreaded Thomson drive? $100 IS a bunch to spend on the system, if you're going to have to replace the drive in 6 months or less.

From what I've found, the Halo editions were v1.2 and more than likely with the Philips. But if anything, I'll flip it on eBay and make a quick bit on it and get a cheap-o xbox.

It's actually where I found the Microcenter Xmas 360 deal from. That hour before I found that thread was despair I tell ya... I wanted a 360 sooooooooo bad and only for GoW. Made some great sales off it too, ones that would never happen on eBay... that's for sure. lol

Got a broken Thinkpad R40 (PM 1.3GHz, 512MB, 802.11b Wi-Fi) for $100. Got it to boot up after a BIOS upgrade, but the hard drive does have some bad spots and the DVD/CD-RW drive doesn't detect. Got a new hard drive on the way for $25, and I'll probably be able to live without an optical drive, so yay $125 laptop!

I scored a MONSTER deal a couple of weeks ago. Not quite as good as my score of my lifetime when I was a young teen and got tons of Uncanny X-Men, Daredevil, and Amazing Spiderman in Very Fine or better condition for a dime apiece, but pretty damn good anyway.

A gentlman wanted $1000 for the following comics:

Giant Size X-Men #1 (first appearance of the second team of X-Men, second full appearance of Wolverine, 1975) - listed as Very Fine PlusUncanny X-Men #94 (second team starts in the regular line) Very Fine PlusUncanny X-Men #95 (death of Thunderbird) Very Fine PlusUncanny X-Men #96 Very Fine PlusUncanny X-Men #97 Very Fine Plus

I arrange to meet up, feign disappointment with the condition on them, and cash in face him with 500. He doesn't want to accept, we settle on 550.

Best part? I review each of the issues - he was EXTREMELY conservative in his grading. Giant Size #1? It's a solid Near Mint Minus, 9.2/10 EASY. Value? No less than a grand, probably an easy $1400 or more. This one is going in the vault.

Issues 94-97? They are in excellent condition, each is a solid Near Mint or better. Value for the four is around $1500 easily. Each of them is better than the copies I already have of each, so they are going into my vault. The extras are on the list for trade.

The copy of 24 is actually in Fine to Very Fine condition, the 67 is Good to Very Good, and the King Size is a solid Fine. On the list for trade.

I definitely made out, and the best part? He as a BUTTLOAD of more comics from the 60's and 70's...this morning I picked up a Very Fine Minus copy of Marvel Spotlight #5 (first appearance of Ghost Rider) and SUPER MINT Superman vs. Spiderman large size first print for $50, and also paid another $50 for his last 2 copies of Superman Versus Spiderman, one is SUPER GEM MINT the other is Near Mint 9.2-9.4. Extras are on the list for trade.

Here are some pics. I have a bunch of them on my tradelist/for sale, if anyone is interested.

The 5 beauties I purchased:

Original copies next to new ones:

A pic of one of the Supes vs. Spidey:

My new 94 next to the old (with my copies of Incredible Hulk 180 and 181):

The other issues in the deal (with my copy of Uncanny X-Men #1...excuse the horrible flash):

A while back I had tried to get a DFP and found one finally on CL for $45. I got him down to $35 because it didn't have the ac adapter but it was in brand new condition. Later I sold it for a profit to help pay for my M$ wireless wheel. I don't know if that was a mistake or not. Oh well...

I found a CD-X with two wireless controllers, 5 Sega-CD games, 2 genesis games, and the S-Video cable, all mint, for $90

The same day, a Genesis with 32x and CD, 35 genesis games, 12 CD games, 1 Saturn game, a NES, 25 games, lightgun, 3 controllers, 2 NES MAX controllers, and game genies for both systems for $90 Pretty much everything was in great shape with boxes and manuals for the sega stuff, and manuals for most of the NES stuff, too

That comic deal was a steal! I've been colecting about 15 years (since I was 10 or 11), and that deal destroyed anything I have ever got, although my centerpieces are regular silver age comics as I have never spent more than $20 on a book.

Well, the story, as hokie as it is, is a pretty damn good crossover COUGH COUGH (except for Lex Luthor using a red solar light gun to boost Spidey's powers to Superman's level and give him a fighting chance, at least until it wears off and Spidey realizes quite quickly just how out of his league Superman is...but it could be a LOT more ridiculous - see below...). It ends up being a team-up between Supes and Spidey against Luthor and Doctor Octopus.

But it's a pretty significant milestone in comics - the first DC and Marvel crossover, and it happens to be between their biggest stars. Much better than the horrid fan voted DC versus Marvel of the 90's.

There was another interesting crossover around the time of this one, between Batman and the Incredible Hulk.

Spoiler

Batman manages to somehow kick Hulk in the gut with enough strength to knock the wind out of him and cause him to inhale some Bat-knockout gas, subsequently knocking the big Brute out. HAHAHAHAHA...

While I understand the need for suspension of disbelief when it comes to comic book stories, let's not make them utterly absurd...

And I'm still looking for a copy of Superman Versus Mohammed Ali...never read that one but I'm sure it's hilarious.

BTW I didn't realize you were in Cali...if you are in LA or SoCal I will be happy to show you the copies of 139 and 143 I have in person. Otherwise, as I said, I will get the pics in a week or so as I am out of town until next Monday (5/21)

Just got back form another Craig's List posting. Origionally she just wanted to sell the game boy and pokemon and tetris. But I e-mailed her and asked if she wanted to get rid of anymore old games. Here is what I got:

edit: what he wants is $30 for each bundle or $100 for all, that is still alot of moneyz which I don't have alot of, what I'm mostly interested in is the Dreamcast and Saturn, I'm actually not interested in the GBA or SNES at all. What would be a fair offer for the Saturn and DC? Is $40 to cheap ass as an offer for both bundles?

2. I think I am going to find most of my best deals on Craigs list. From the two scores from yesterday, to the big one I am picking up tomorrow. Much easier than yardsailing. But I will still be out there on Saturday with the rest of you.
